Example 11(Method 1)
Check whether 7 5, 7/ 5, 2 + 21, 2 are irrational numbers or not.
7
7 is rational
5 = 2.236 . which is non- terminating non-repeating
is an irrational number
We know that Rational Irrational = Irrational
Since, 7 5 = 7 5
it is irrational
/
7 is rational
5 = 2.236 . which is non- terminating non-repeating
is an irrational number
We know that / = Irrational
Thus, 7/ 5 is irrational
+ 21
21 is rational
2 " = 1.4142 " which is non- terminating non-repeating
is an irrational number
We know that Irrational + Rational = Irrational
Thus, 2 + 21 is an irrational number
2
2 is rational
= 3.1415 . which is non- terminating non-repeating
is an irrational number
We know that Irrational Rational = Irrational
Thus, - 2 is an irrational number
Example 11 (Method 2)
Check whether 7 5, 7/ 5, 2 + 21, 2 are irrational numbers or not.
7
5 = 2.236 .
7 5 = 7 (2.346) = 15.652 ..,
It is a non-terminating and non-repeating decimal expansion.
So,7 5 is an irrational number
/
7/ 5 = (7 5)/( 5 5) = (7 5)/5 = 7/5 (2.346) = 3.1304 .
It is a non-terminating and non-repeating decimal expansion.
So, 7/ 5 is an irrational number
+ 21
2 = 1.4142
2 + 21 = 1.4142 + 21 = 22.4142 ,
It is a non-terminating and non-repeating decimal expansion.
So, 2 + 21 is an irrational number
2
= 3.1415 .
2 = 3.1415 . 2 = 1.1415
It is a non-terminating and non-repeating decimal expansion.
So, - 2 is an irrational number
